    Search With two hard drive


    Hi,
    I have two hard drive on my PC, as SSD for the OS and a HDD for all my storage

    I seem to have a problem with search, that it will only find stuff that is stored on the SDD.

    To get it to look for other files on the HD, I have to click search my stuff, and even then it still doesn't work.

    Is there a way to fix this? As most of my stuff is on HD and click search my stuff is a bit annoying.


    Also when I click rebuild index, nothing happens. I get a dialogue box saying it will take a long time, but then it doest say its indexing

    :)

    Something went wrong error with search box

    Don't think that can be the issue, at least not for me. We have two identical laptops that we bought at the same time both have SSD's as well as conventional hard drives. Cortana is working normally on one but will not search hard drives or My Stuff on the
    other?

    This must not be your case but as this happens to surprisingly many users, I thought to mention it:

    Which drive letter you are using for your data drive? Remnants from the floppy time, the letters A & B are reserved for removable media and Windows does not index them, which is the single most important reason not to use them for hard drives.
